Carr contributed 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes in Saturday's 92-88 loss to the Warriors in the Las Vegas Summer League Semifinals.
Carr's and the Lakers' Summer League run came to an end Saturday, and the rookie first-rounder struggled mightily with efficiency. Still, he finished as Los Angeles' second-leading scorer, posting at least 14 points for the fourth time in as many Las Vegas Summer League outings. During that span, Carr averaged 18.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest. He's in line to compete for meaningful playing time off the bench in his rookie season.

Rotowire
Carr finished with 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks across 29 minutes in Friday's 96-84 Summer League win over the Thunder.
After scoring just five points in Monday's 88-84 California Classic Summer League win over San Antonio, Carr turned it around Friday, finishing only two points behind Adou Thiero, who scored a game-high 20. The 21-year-old may not play in every game for the Lakers throughout the remainder of the team's time in Las Vegas. However, even if Carr suits up only a few more times, he is already in line for an expanded role heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

Lakers' Cameron Carr: Knicks trade rights to Lakers
Rotowire
The Knicks selected Carr with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and traded his rights to the Lakers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After playing sparingly across two seasons with Tennessee, Carr broke out in his lone season at Baylor in 2025-26, averaging 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals on 49.4 percent shooting from the field and 37.4 percent from deep in 33.7 minutes over 34 games, culminating in All-Big 12 Third Team honors. The Lakers' roster is far from set heading into the 2026-27 campaign, though LeBron James and Austin Reaves are expected to return, leaving Carr's path to consistent usage blocked.
